Hermits

Heading out for a hike? Take a couple hermit bar cookies with you! Packed with raisins, walnuts, and molasses for energy, they'll keep you going full steam ahead. I'm leaving for the Chilkoot next week (they'll freeze well 'til then), and I'm sure these will taste extra delicious on the trail (as all food seems to when you're out in the boonies).

Mix goopey wet ingredients with flour mixture

Divide dough into four balls, wrap tightly, and refrigerate overnight

Form the dough into snakes the length of your cookie sheet, then press them out flat.

Brush with powdered sugar and milk glaze to make them shiny. Cool, and cut into bars.
